Hi MummyThreeStreams,

can you send me the tuner contact? I have actually 1 free tuning when I bought my piano 2-3 years ago.....but I lost my receipt

I needed trusted and tested piano tuners. My dd is so very fussy with tuners. She did not like all the previous tuners. PM me pls if you have one. Thanks.


I need piano teachers’ advice. What pitch should I tune my piano to? 440 or 442? My dd plays the piano leisurely but sometimes she needed it for accompaniment with her violin during exams? Her violin is tune to 442.

Some tuners insisted at 440 and of course, when we request, they will tune to 442 but it’s rather confusing for me.

Now I stressed..... :scared: what is 440 / 442? For those who do not know anything about it, what do we do when the tuner comes? This is gonna be the first time i'm getting the piano tuned......

Sorry, I don't mean to confuse. 440 is the regular piano pitch tuning whereas, 442 is tuned to concert pitch. Concert piano is always tuned to 442. Violin tuning is always tuned according to the piano, otherwise, you get different pitches when playing together. For exams, just tune according to the piano provided in the studio.

Follow the tuner's advice if you are just doing piano.

Shouldn't the company who sold you the piano have your records? Mine does, and they base the tunings on their records (which I will countersign.

Anyway, will PM you the contact of my tuner.

Let me know if you need piano tuning service. By default, your piano is tune with reference to 440 Hz. Thanks.
